Eco Spa

 

Peak District Spa offers a Scandinavian Spa experience which takes our guests “back to nature” and is sustainable environmentally.

Re-connecting with nature means relaxing in a wooden tub full of hot water enjoying the view over Alsop Dale during the day – or better still under a star-lit night sky made all the better for the absence of light pollution – listening to the sounds of a hunting Tawny Owl. Or maybe it’s the kids having fun.

Children 4 years and above may enjoy using the hot tub – always supervised by an adult.
Whilst all Spas consume a lot of energy, our hot tub is fuelled by thinning and waste wood from our parkland which would otherwise be shredded & composted. A wood-fired steam room/sauna will shortly be available when we have found one that satisfies our criteria for safety, size and economy.

Please enquire at reception for costs and availability.

Future Developments
Peak District Spa has a detailed consent for a more conventional indoor Spa complex with swimming pool, indoor hot spa, gym, treatments room, sauna & steam room – continuing the long-established traditions of the spa towns in the area – such as Matlock and Buxton.

Nearly all illumination is provided by low-energy lights and the rooms are ventilated with a system that mechanically recovers heat from the stale room air.

Short Holiday at the Peak District

As it is more often than not expressed in media, breaks is a sure-fire way to reduce emotional stress in addition to allow actual physical and psychological healing from the rigours of everyday existence. However, lots of people are delay from taking these very important holidays for a selection of situations that include price (such as the cost of vacations ever-increasing or because of the the pound’s ‘weak’ valuation when compared to other foreign currencies) or as they are can not take some time off work. However, short-termgetaways in the Peak District are lower-price alternatives to the conventional break and provide much more things to do to satisfy all likes when compared to a seven days on a European beach.



The Peak District is situated inside the geographic heart of United kingdom in between Derby, Sheffield, Manchester and Stoke, making it possible for a myriad of people to drive a car there inside of ninety minutes, and despite the fact that it’s peaks are on a scaled-down scale than those of Snowdonia and also the Lake District, the scenery and picturesque villages are just as wonderful. The smaller sized scale of the Peak District is actually no means a drawback as it implies that key areas of attraction and natural beauty are only a short-term walk from Bed and Breakfast and holiday accommodation sites, which can include the Peak District Spa.



Short holidays at thePeak District can be designed around any hobbies that the guest could have. For instance, for all those wanting an action-packed break, there are several cycle and trekking tracks including the Tissington and High Peaks Trails amongst others. Families with young ones will also be catered for by destinations such as Alton Towers and Gulliver’s Kingdom.




Furthermore, unlike continental beach destination getaways, a vacation at the PeakDistrict wouldn't be spoiled by as bout of bad weather as there's lots of historical and cultural attractions at the vicinity that include things like Chatsworth house (one of a large number of stately homes) and the Peak Mining Museum along with the National Tram Museum.



The Peak District also delivers destinations and events the entire year-round, which range from the conventional Shrove Tide Football Match at Ashbourne and festivals which can include things like the Buxton Arts Festival involving months of street activities and music, mime and dance which carry on throughout the summer into September.
